Winemaker Adriana Occhipinti is one of the latest young talents to be bringing Sicily back on the wine map. A firm believer of 'natural' winemaking and follows biodynamic principles. Minimal adjustments have been made, no fining, no filtration and only minimal sulphur added at bottling, resulting in an incredibly pure wine that's refined and delicate with full flavours of Sicily.Tastes Like?Think juicy red fruits, raspberry, blueberries, mulberries, a touch savoury spice with wonderfully balanced, fresh natural acidity and fine tannins. Does cry out for food- a light pasta with guanciale or salted cod.
